Words
Hurtful words
Spoken in anger
Spoken in haste
Spoken in sarcasm
Words that weren’t meant
When these words have been spoken
The damage has already been done
These words can be forgiven
But they will never be forgotten
Before you speak, remember this…
Some things are better
Left unsaid

Just kidding, I think, about deleting that other blog. Better delete my identity leak up there…. 😉

Just kidding you think. Just do it. Or just maybe be who you are and stop caring what people think.

I would never, could never be intentionally hurtful. Period. I have had my sarcasm and not-well-thought-out funny and weird defense-mechanism acts hurtfully misread before though. Recalling makes my heart bleed: I am very hard on myself. I’ve been the recipient of verbal abuse, but I don’t take it to heart because they are spoken by mentally unstable people who are permanent in my life. I say “you can’t talk to me that way” and all but it’s futile with adults. I am normally a mega, sincere compliment giver (which can also backfire because many are not comfortable with that). So much to think about from your wise words…

Speaking of the adventure of being me…I’m deleting this blog and merging it with my other one. I think you’ve heard of it: https://ardorsgarden.wordpress.com/2018/02/25/delete-queen/ You hold one of my skeleton keys now, and we’re leaving them trapped in eternity here… 😉

Your simple words are like truth from the very scriptures! 👼 I can’t count the number of instances words have pained me, broken me and shattered my confidence… Some things are indeed better left unsaid. Anyone with the power of speech should exercise the responsibility of controlling it.

I always come away from your writing within something I can reflect upon throughout the day. When I think about myself, I know this is an area I could do better. Thank you for a little “human” guidance and your wisdom Walt.

Unsaid, definitely – Unwritten, sometimes too. (ps I don’t mean this! Sometimes texts or emails sent should be considered carefully).
